Britains Mo Farah made athletics history on Sunday when he broke David Moorcrofts 34-year-old British 3000 metres record at the Birmingham Diamond League meeting. Johnny Bench Jersey . Farah missed last years meeting in Birmingham, saying he felt too emotionally and physically drained by the doping allegations surrounding his coach, Alberto Salazar.The double Olympic champion won the race with a time of 7min 32.62sec, a tenth of a second faster than Moorcrofts best time, set in 1982. The 33-year-old said: I have been trying for about seven years for that record - it has stood there for a while.It has been hard to beat. I knew I was in good shape.I had to work the last two laps. It was a little bit breezy the last 200m, I had to dig in deep.Farah is hoping to defend his 5,000 and 10,000m titles at this summers Olympic Games in Rio. Mo Farah said his training for the Olympics had been going well Training has been going pretty well, I am in a good place, I have to make sure I dont overcook it, be sensible, believe in myself.What I am trying to do is something that has never been done before. It wont be easy.People say, Oh, Mo won it four years ago. He will get it again.It doesnt work like that. I have to be sensible, be smart, keep enjoying it.Farah now holds the British record for the 1,500m, 3,000m, two miles, 5,000m, 10,000m and half-marathon, as well as four indoor national records.The athlete also paid tribute to boxing great Muhammad Ali by striking a boxing pose on the start-line before his record-smashing victory. Greg Rutherfords winning streak was ended by Marquise Goodwin It was a tribute definitely to Muhammad Ali, said Farah. My sympathy goes to his family, he was a great man.He was a real influence on me as I wrote in my biography, I looked up to him.Meanwhile, Greg Rutherford had his winning streak broken in the long jump - suffering his first defeat since July 2015 to Marquise Goodwin. Rutherford finished fifth with a best jump of 8.01m and later complained of a neck injury, which he believes hampered his performance.Rutherford said: I have made it worse on the first landing and I am currently unable to move my neck. The doctor thinks it is a bad whiplash, but it wont affect my Olympic bid. I am positive the British Athletics medical staff will be able to fix it over the next week.

A person with knowledge of the deal told The Associated Press that the team was working on final details of the contract Tuesday night. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because an agreement had not been announced. Melton missed most of last season with Chicago after tearing a ligament in his left knee against Pittsburgh on Sept. 22. He will be reunited with former Bears defensive co-ordinator Rod Marinelli, who now has the same title in Dallas. The fifth-year player was a high school running back in the Dallas area before becoming a defensive tackle with the Texas Longhorns. The 27-year-old Melton has 15 1/2 sacks and 63 tackles in 48 career games, including 32 starts. The Bears drafted him in the fifth round in 2009, and he missed his rookie season with an ankle injury. Melton was arrested in December in Grapevine, where he went to high school, on charges of assault and public intoxication after police say he refused to leave a bar and fought with employees. Drew Storen Jersey. Police say Melton was accused of punching the bar manager in the face and biting his arm. Meltons agent, Jordan Woy, said at the time that his client didnt start the altercation. The Cowboys released Ware, their star defensive end, just as free agency opened. Defensive tackle Jason Hatcher signed with Washington after leading the Cowboys with 11 sacks last season. A day after Wares release, the Cowboys signed defensive end Jeremy Mincey and defensive tackle Terrell McClain. Mincey is the teams current career leader with 20 sacks, now followed by Melton. Next on this list with 10 is George Selvie, who wasnt even on the Dallas roster when training camp started last season and ended up second to Hatcher with seven sacks on an injury plagued unit. Marinelli came to Dallas a year ago as defensive line coach with then-defensive co-ordinator Monte Kiffin after Lovie Smith was fired in Chicago. He was promoted when Kiffin was reassigned after the Cowboys gave up the most yards in franchise history and finished last in the NFL in total defence.
